hey this is great, I am dutch and I am impressed. What you wrote is really good for your 10th day of learning dutch. However some stuff you wrote does not really make sense, as dutch is not accurately translated into english and vs.

After showing this to my partner he said the same thing. I think where I fall down most is the order of placing words because I try to do literal translations almost word for word. I know this isn't how is works though so I'm trying to practice.

Yes, but I find it really hard to think of anything that I have the skills to say - my mind just goes blank - but this has given me an idea for a different way to practice. Getting Google to translate things that I have written for other reasons and then reading it back to myself. It is practice and it helps me to see that I do already know most of the words that I want to use or can understand the words as they are made up of ones I already know. It is a bit like reading material written in Dutch - newspapers or whatever but it is hard for me to find that kind of material and in a way, because this is my own words it is a bit nearer to getting the confidence to speak or write in Dutch.

I understand, I sometimes do something similar too. However Google translate isn't always accurate. I converse with my partner on a daily basis (and sometimes his mother too); they are both native Dutch speakers and can always tell if something I am saying I have picked up from google - it's often not correct! What I'm saying is just be careful with using it - take it with a pinch of salt for practice as you may be learning things incorrectly.
(This can be highlighted by translating what you wrote there in Dutch back into English via google. It's not a coherent sentence and only just about makes sense.

Talking to native speakers is obviously the best practice but not all of us have people around we can practice on. I went to look for online newspapers in Dutch but they were much too hard. Next I looked for childrens stories in Dutch but even they had a lot I did not know.
